The Register:
Google shafts blogger, adds gagging clause to Adsense
By Andrew Orlowski in San Francisco
"'#17 Miscellaneous. Except as required by law, You may not, without Google's prior written consent, issue any press release or make any public statement about the subject matter of this Agreement or use or display any Google logo or trademark in any manner (except as otherwise provided to You by Google as part of an Ad Unit).' "
"If Google follows its own contract to the letter, we could start seeing mass expulsions from the program as users compare information, or even simply discuss the controversy. And surely that's the one thing Google doesn't want to happen.
The giant search engine - increasingly criticized for exercising power without responsibility - had not responded to our request for comment at press time"
